amellor03 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I have a thread over on chilledrc complete build from scratch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrallyuk Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 It's home-made using fabric from an old pair of work trousers, some velcro and some elastic. Very easy to do if you know someone with a sewing machine. See how you were talking about making these. I want to have a go but one thing i want to check. Does the material go all the way round the car...Like on the under chassis aswell. or do you just velcro this on to the side of the chassis so the underbelly if free?Hope that makes sence. Im just thinking on the car getting caught on sticks and things if theres material under the car and also this will start to tear after a while. If you can upload some pics of the sides of the car and the under chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can upload some pics of the sides of the car and the under chassis The fabric covers the top of the tub and is velcroed to the sides of the chassis, leaving the bottom free.

rcrallyuk Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thats perfect. Thanks mate. Where did you get the velcro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I used to work for a company that made electric wheelchairs, and I got it from their upholstery dept. Not sure where they got it from, but I would guess most haberdasheries would sell it. I have also seen the self-adhesive velcro for sale in B&Q.

JoeGT Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks for the info. I'll have to get one on order. Yeah I think the rally wheels are smaller so have bigger side walls than the road wheels and tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
